Tire Services

Improve your vehicle’s handling, increase tire life and drive with safety by checking your tires every month to ensure that they are inflated with the right amount of air pressure. We offer a wide range of tires for your vehicle. Let our professionals help you find, balance and mount the right tires for your car.

In this example, the tire has the number 89H. This is the weight capacity of the tire. However, in most cases, you will not see this heading on the sidewall.

A speed rating is sometimes put in front of the R (or B or D). A straight R rating means that it is rated for speeds of up to 100mph. The manufacturer does not recommended this tire for speeds greater than 100 mph. Other speed ratings are: S=112mph, T=118mph, U=124mph, H=130mph, V=149mph, & a Z rated tire is for speeds in excess of 149mph.

The V and Z rated tires have excellent dry pavement grip/traction but due to their soft rubber compounds, do not have a long life.

A tread rating indicates how long a tire should last. This figure is written in small letters on the sidewall of your tire. The higher the number, the longer the tire should last. 100 is the basic tread wear rating.

The traction rating works just like grading – ‘A’ being the best, ‘B’ is good, and ‘C’ is acceptable. This number is also found on the sidewall.

Temperature ratings work the same – ‘A’ best, ‘B’ good, ‘C’ acceptable. If you drive your car very hard, you want a temperature rating of ‘A’ because a ‘C’ would fail faster under these conditions. Again, look for this number on the sidewall.

Husbands Seldom Believe In Life Insurance, But Widows Always Do … It’s The Same Thing With Your Tire Pressure!

(If You Have A Vehicle With Tires, You Absolutely Need A Service)

Properly inflated tires give you a smooth, safe and less costly ride!

Some people actually believe that a few pounds of tire pressure is not that important, but maintaining proper air pressure in your tires protects against excessive tire wear, gives you the best ride and allows you to handle your car safely. Air pressure should be checked when tires are cool. Most tires require air pressure between 32-44 PSI (pounds per square inch). Tires need to be filled according to the manufacture recommendations. Over inflation or under inflation both cause excessive tire wear.

Tires are costly, so you need to get maximum wear out of them. When having your oil changed, your A-1 Auto Repair Professional will check your tires and make sure they have the correct prssure
